Apple will announce its big iOS 10 upgrade at WWDC next month, and it will rollout to all later this fall — but iOS 9 is determined to go out with a bang. The software is now installed on 84 percent of compatible devices.

iOS 9 may be Apple’s most secure mobile operating system to date, but it ships with a major security flaw that allows anyone to bypass the lock screen and gain access to contacts and photos on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

Apple has promised to rollout a fix for another bug discovered in iOS 9 which causes devices to crash when users tap a web link. The issue appears to be related to certain third-party apps, and there’s no temporary workaround you can use in the meantime.

iOS 9’s adoption figure has risen again ahead of the public rollout of iOS 9.3, with 79 percent of compatible devices now running a version of Apple’s latest software. That figure is expected to rise again next week when Apple rolls out new features like Night Shift mode.

iOS 9 might seem pretty fast and responsive to you, but did you know it can be even faster? If you disable system animations using this neat trick — which requires no jailbreak — you get apps that open and close so fast you won’t have time to lift your finger from the screen.

Apple has stopped signing iOS 9.2, more than two weeks after releasing iOS 9.2.1. This means that users won’t be able to downgrade from iOS 9.2.1 to iOS 9.2, and will get Error 3194 informing you “This device isn’t eligible for the requested build”.

Getting your iPhone repaired by a third-party is often cheaper than getting it repaired at the Apple Store, and in many cases, you won’t notice the difference. But that’s going to change. With iOS 9, Apple is said to be bricking devices that contain unofficial components.

The iOS 9.2.1 update released last week included some bug fixes and security updates for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. But what kind of impact does it have on battery life? Take our poll and let us know how it’s been for you.

I love GIFs and memes almost as much as Costco Pizza. And when I want to share a bunch of these awesome memes or Gifs with a group of my friends, I opt for the Mail app on my iPhone. With the constant issues of sending GIFs via iMessages or Messages, using the native Mail client has become my go-to.

Poll of the week!
